The times of the judges were turbulent days in Israel s history, marked by a continuing cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. In time, the people of Israel decided they would do better under the leadership of a king, and they arrogantly demanded that God provide them with one. Samuel, God s anointed prophet and Israel s last judge, warned that they would be getting more than they bargained for taxes, forced military service, wars, and oppression but they continued to insist. The Lord finally provided a king in the person of Saul, and Samuel s warnings came to pass. In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at this historical period beginning with the miraculous birth of Samuel, continuing through Saul s crowning as Israel s first king, and concluding with his tragic death. Studies include close-up examinations of Hannah, Eli, Saul, David, and Jonathan, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as Slaying a Giant and Respecting God s Anointed. The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur."
